Avalanche (AVAX) has noted a decline in the profitability of active addresses and overall wallet addresses holding AVAX, per IntoTheBlock data. Combined with bullish technical indicators, this supports a thesis for potential gains in the DeFi token.

On-chain metrics support bullish thesis

The Global In/ Out of the Money (GIOM) metric is used to track the profitability of entities holding an asset. The metric shows 36.49% of the wallet addresses holding AVAX are sitting on unrealized gains. This is key to AVAX holders since a relatively smaller number of profitable entities ensures that the DeFi token is less likely to face a sell-off and selling pressure on exchange platforms.

Global In/Out of the Money

Active addresses by profitability metric tracks the addresses that transacted within the last 30 days. Of such addresses 34.13%, over 9,000 wallet addresses are profitable. This metric is in line with the GIOM, supporting a thesis of gains in AVAX.
